I embrace the evolution of each piece, allowing gravity, evaporation, and time to play integral roles in the creative process.  My practice centers on observing and responding to the organic interactions that unfold both within and beyond the studio, untouched by human intervention.  Layer by layer, each artwork gradually reveals its ethereal qualities, a result of patient and meticulous attention.  The depth and complexity achieved through these layers cannot be rushed; they must emerge naturally, nurtured by time and intention.  My work explores the quiet poetry of everyday and extraordinary moments- hot air balloons drifting across expansive skies, sailboats gliding through sunlit waters, orchards in bloom, and intimate floral studies.  Through these subjects, I investigate atmosphere, light, and movement, inviting viewers to enter a contemplative space that feels simultaneously narrative and timeless.  Color, texture, and composition serve as essential tools in my storytelling.  Layered hues evoke emotion, contrasts create energy, and subtle transitions encourage reflection.  By attending to scale, balance, and spatial relationships, each piece achieves a harmony that is both engaging and serene, blending simplicity with layered depth.  Guided by a profound respect for natural processes and the flow of time, my work seeks to connect viewers with the rhythms of nature and the unfolding stories of human experience.  Through these layered, immersive scenes, I aim to inspire reflection and a deeper appreciation for the intricate interplay of movement, light, and stillness that defines our world.
